Annoying donations – this speeks Dutch only. And they have four of them in the medical icu, that can’t be used.

Kathmandu traffic does get worse than this. Still this video illustrates it pretty well.

Sister Petrolina, Head of the Paediatric Department at the KCMC with paediatric size blood pressure cuffs and clip-on pulse oximeters.

Shortly before we left the KCMC this August, we found out that it was not rare for hospitals to be lacking various equipment in paediatric size. In consequence it would not be possible to measure the oxygen saturation and blood pressure of children. In some cases lack of paediatric size tubes made it impossible to intubate children in need of a ventilator to assist their breathing.

Most of these products could probably be made pretty easily with a bit of creativity. This should give ideas for some design projects for most biomedical/design engineers.

We had a small budget for our various projects from the EWH and we decided to spend what we had left to buy blood pressure cuffs in paediatric size and clip-on pulse oximeters for the paediatric department at KCMC.
